I watched my first X275 and X235 race at tulsa last weekend and it was amazing. If you guys can get this race organized it would be the class to watch that is for sure! Just wish Norwalk wasn't clear on the other side of the moon from here

I say any slick no larger than 30 x 10.5 and any 275 drag radial. For any car. Keep it simple. And if your Pontiac motor -No cid limit.

I would allow tube and back have cars as well and 4 link ,and not have to have interior or mufflers. And allow wheelie bars. Just to try and draw cars in to race.
But the rest I would stay with the Ultra rules. JMO

And Ultra is 1/8 mile.

NA can use a slick, PA can use the MT Pro, engines other than Pontiac can use the BFG or Nitto Radial.

A 31-10.5W should be allowed on PA cars

So I take a couple hundred pounds out just to add them back in with some weight bars. Nice!

I would try and make the weights a little lighter then Ultra rules to try and get more cars in the race and maybe a more liberal tire rule.

This could get huge!

Get real. PA being allowed the pro tire or a slick is way to much of a gift as it is ,and probably shouldn't be allowed as is. JMO

Joshua Sashko...if the rear frame rail rule doesn't stand. I think the M/T Pro will stretch onto a 14" rim...
